Owner Natalie Pevehouse said she carries casual career and sports wear for men. “I also carry some high-end brands that the closest you could find them until now is Dallas.”

Inventory also includes shaving lines, shoes, belts and some jewelry.

Said the self-described entrepreneur, “This is a 100 percent made-for-men store.”

She explained, “Guys don’t like shopping, so I tried to make the experience enjoyable.” To do so, she offers beer on tap. She also installed two large flat screen televisions that will be playing sports all the time so shoppers “never have to miss the big game.”

Generally, she said, “guys like three things: Beer, sports and women. So my decor includes 1940s-style pin-up girls.” Her decor also offers a taste of a hunting lodge, with antler chandeliers.

She carries the traditional sizes but can custom-order merchandise, she said.
